Sorry for taking long on this chapter. Things have been hectic around my house. I promise to update the next chapter sooner. Thank you for the continued support with this story and the reviews.
Stefanie got home to find that she had three messages from Jax. Smiling she walked to her bedroom to see him waiting for her. "Shit." She screamed in shock. "Sorry didn't mean to scare you." He said making his way toward her. "It's okay, what are you doing here?" she asked as she dropped her purse and wrapped her arms around his neck. "The group made a decision about Ope." He said as he moved her hair from her yes. "What's going to happen?" she asked. Jax shrugged. "Clay said that nothing was going to happen to him. But I don't think that's going to happen." He said as he broke apart and pulled a cigarette out. "Well at least Abel's coming home in a few days." She said he pulled his cigarette out of his mouth. "Yeah, I can't wait, till he gets home." He said as he stubbed out his cigarette. Smiling she walked over and sat on his lap so she was straddling him. "How's your ribs?" she asked as he pulled his hands under her shirt. "They're tender, but I can deal." He said as she bent down and kissed him tenderly. Leaning back she threw her arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss. "Jax..." she said as he pulled her jacket off.
Jax slid his cut off wincing a little making Stefanie stop kissing him. "Jax, we don't have to do this." She said as she sat up and kissed his neck. "Yeah, I know maybe I shouldn't huh." He said as he laid back and lit a cigarette. Stefanie smiled as she laid down on him and placed her head on his stomach. Both were close to sleep when Jax's cell phone went off making both open their eyes. Sitting up slightly he grabbed his phone and threw his arm around Stefanie. "Hello?" he asked as she grabbed his hand and kissed it making him looked down at her. "Yeah, I'll be there in a minute." He said as he closed his phone and stubbed out his cigarette. "I gotta go babe." He said making her slide off him. "I'll call you later." He said as he kissed her forehead before making his way to her lips. "Mmm, go." She said as he smiled and walked out of the house. Smiling she laid back down on the bed before closing her eyes to fall asleep.
It had been a good week since Jax and the club decided to deal with the situation with Opie. "So, I'm glad that Abel's coming home." Gemma said as she hung a banner for the welcome home party she was throwing. "Yeah, I know, are um Tara and Wendy coming?" she asked as she dropped the scissors. "Shit." She said as she picked them up and gave them back to her. Gemma smiled. "Are you with Jax Angel?" she asked catching Stefanie off guard. "What?" she asked as she picked up the scissors and placed them on the table. "He's happy, tell me." She said making her give in. "Jax and I have slept together, and he's been at my house a few nights." She said making Gemma pull her in for a hug. "I'm happy that it is you and not Tara." She said as she pulled away. Stefanie smiled at her.
It was later in the day when Stefanie was sitting on the couch. Looking at her phone she noticed that it was vibrating. Grabbing her phone she answered it. "Hello?" she asked as she got up and grabbed a bottle of water. "Hey Angel, can you get the door sweetie." Gemma asked as she looked out the window to see Gemma, Clay and Jax holding Abel. "Yeah, I'm coming hold on a sec." she said as she shut her phone and went to the door to open it. "Sorry guys, come on in." She said as Jax walked in with Abel in his arms. "Oh my god Jax, he's so cute." She said as he sat down on the couch. "Tired baby?" Gemma asked as he looked up at her. "Yeah, a little I just hope he sleeps through the night." He said making Gemma and Stefanie laugh. "I bet you'll get sleep." She said as she sat down next to Jax and stroked Abel's little cheek. "Alright Clay and I will set up. We have to go get a few things. I'll be back." Gemma said making Clay get up angry. "I thought everything was here now I have to go buy more stuff?" Clay said in protest as Gemma dragged him to the door to leave.
Clay and Gemma left leaving Jax and Stefanie alone. "I should put him in his crib and take a shower before his party." Jax said as he got up off the couch and walked to the bedroom. Walking in he placed his sleeping son in his crib and turned to see Stefanie leaning against the door frame. "You look happy." She said making him walk closer to her and walk her up against the wall outside Abel's room. "What are you doing?" she asked as he griped her hips and stared into her eyes. "Thank you for everything Stef, for being there and just being patient with me." He said making her smile and lean her forehead on his. "Don't you need to shower?" she asked as his hands slid up under her shirt and around her back. "Come with me." He said as he kissed her fiercely making her wrap her arms around him tightly and moaning in his mouth. "Jax...we can't...the party." She said making Jax smile. "Alright darling, come on." He said as he picked Stefanie up off the ground. "What, what are you doing Jax?" she asked he opened the bathroom door. "Taking a shower; with you." He said as he closed the door and turned on the water.
